| Name | Spirit Stone |
| Original Name | 灵石 |

| First Appearance | Chapter 1 |
Properties
- Spirit stones contain spiritual energy that cultivators can absorb to support cultivation and breakthroughs. After their energy is exhausted, they become gray-white and ordinary. 6
- Low-grade spirit stones emit a soft spiritual glow; mid-grade stones possess noticeably purer and denser spiritual energy. 5 180
- High-grade, mid-grade, and low-grade spirit stones are all in circulation among cultivators. 308
- Pills, talismans, artifacts, information, and passage arrangements are routinely priced in spirit stones, making them a core currency of the cultivation world. 2 57 173 275
Uses
Cultivation Resource
- Cultivators may hold spirit stones while circulating their cultivation methods, drawing out and refining the contained spiritual energy. 6
- Spirit stones are used for daily cultivation, replenishing mana, and supplying formations and artifacts. 308
- Access to spirit veins—often controlled by sects and cultivation families—is necessary for major breakthroughs such as Nascent Soul formation; independent cultivators must pay heavily or seek dangerous alternatives. 465
Currency and Trade
- Spirit stones purchase combat resources, including Dharma artifacts, talismans, storage bags, medicinal ingredients, and pills. 12 57 73
- During unstable periods, market prices rise sharply: high-grade talismans at the Flowing Cloud Sect frontline cost 120–150 low-grade spirit stones each. 57
- A standard Qi Condensation Pill sold for four low-grade spirit stones during the Qingshi Market crisis, while a superior pill sold for five. 13
- A Foundation Establishment Pill reached 110,000 low-grade spirit stones at auction, illustrating the scarcity of breakthrough resources. 172
Replication System Conversion
Spirit stones can be consumed by Li Chengjie's system and converted into Replication Points. The applicable grade changes as his cultivation rises.

|---|---|---|
| Qi Refining | 1 low-grade spirit stone = 1 Replication Point | The original system rule. 1 6 |
| Foundation Establishment | 1 mid-grade spirit stone = 1 Replication Point | The system’s stated rule after reaching Foundation Establishment. 145 174 |
| Golden Core and later | 1 high-grade spirit stone = 1 Replication Point | Used when converting spoils from Golden Core cultivators and later resources. 308 317 355 |
Mining and Strategic Value
Spirit stone mines are valuable enough to motivate secret expeditions, family betrayals, forced labor, and sect-level military planning.
